Ruffian - The Cardigan Estate

Aster thought she was relatively safe. Free. So long as her father didn’t find her. With him in her life again, he’ll want to dredge up the past and remind her of who she used to Albie, the boy treated badly, the boy who couldn’t be his true self. A girl.

Steve wants his son, his possession. He’s waited years for his chance to lure his kid back into the fold, and finally, he knows where he is. There’s an abduction in his future, and therapy to change what his son has become, then there’s a matter of teaching Albie a few home truths about family loyalty…and murder.

Ruffian has a point to prove—that he can control himself while committing murder. It’s a thrilling yet alien experience, being on his own while prowling the East End, but it’s too late to stop himself. And to be fair, he doesn’t even want to.
